Singapore dollar bank account vs Wise account

If you need to send, receive, and hold SGD you may be able to open a Singapore dollar bank account with your normal bank. That means you can transact in Singapore dollars from wherever you call home, without needing a local address overseas.

Wise accounts are a great alternative. Use the Singapore dollar details which come with a Wise account to safely receive money in Singapore dollars, which you can convert to spend conveniently in the UK. Wise converts at the mid-market rate with no hidden fees.

Hold your funds in Singapore dollars or 40+ other currencies in your Wise account, send payments to 160 countries, and get an optional Wise card, to spend and withdraw your Singapore dollars easily in the currency of your choice.

The number of currencies you can receive money in depends on your location. Check which currencies you can receive.
